I wrote yesterday about the fierce backlash Mike Pence’s wife, Karen, is experiencing for getting a job teaching art at a private Christian school. Headline after headline has been published, screaming that Karen Pence is working for an “anti-LGBT” institution.
But, as I explained in my other piece, the school’s “anti-LGBT” policy is not only standard and inevitable for an authentic Christian school, but actually necessary in order for Christian schools to exist. The policy, which is not actually “anti-LGBT” but “pro-Christian morality,” simply requires that all students and teachers affirm Biblical teaching and Christian moral tradition. This includes, of course, matters of marriage and sexuality. The school doesn’t uniquely single out homosexuality, but neither does it exclude homosexuality from the list of sins that students and faculty of the school cannot openly accept or promote.
